The reason enemas fell out of favor by doctors is the psychological damage they did to the individual. The same can be said for rectal temperatures. It just created to many mental problems for the child. You can use this forum, and the E & S forum, as an example of what I am talking about. The fact that enemas and rectal temperatures have become a raging fetish, for those people who post on these forums, speaks volumes.

It's not like I have a lot of money and I don't got no health insurance. I don't. I just got off my second job and its very, very late. This doctor voluntarily has a sliding scale so that I don't have to hardly pay anything for any services and besides it is very convenient. The only thing that worries me is that he is way past his prime, by a few decades. But he does have experience. He works on some kind of condensed schedule to allow him a lot of time off but his medical assistant is there all the time. He is the one who will take Jason's weight and temperature tomorrow and again when he sees the doctor. At least he is thorough.

As far him taking Jason's in his behind, I am told that it is best for him cause it is safe, accurate and more comfortable.

With such a small operation, I think I can understand the setup there why the temperature room, for lack of better words, and the larger waiting room are joined as one room. It might sound strange, but I thought I would see a 1957 issue of Time magazine sitting on the coffee table when I sat down. It is one of those things that Jason will have to accept when it comes time for him everytime he getshis temperature taken taken there. I am kind of curious to see how it all it turns out. If he is lucky the waiting room won't be too crowded.

Kelly,
If you're concerned about your son having his temperature taken, and I'm, assuming rectally, contact this doctor, ask him to do it orally , un derarm or by ear. If this doctor, as you describe him, is past his prime, you might want to look elsewhere, though I empathize with your monetary situation.
Kelly, do you take Jason's temperature rectally? If you don't, and your son is not experienced with this method, two things might occur. Being ignorant of the procedure, he may accept it. If, on the other hand, he's aware and sufferes from the anxieties, embarrassment and humiliation of this, he might well very loudly and demonstratively object to it.
